Smitty

First Lieutenant Jeremy Smith, better known as Smitty, was a high school friend and swimming teammate of Drywall's Josh Tinley and Tim Gober. During 1993 and 1994, Tinley and Gober spent most of their weekend, holiday, and summer evenings at Smitty's house, regardless of whether Smitty was home. At Smitty's house late on the evening of April 8, 1994, the two decided to form their band (which would become Liquid Diet then Drywall then the National Biscuit Company). During the spring and summer of 1994, Tinley and Gober frequently practiced as a two-piece in Smitty's basement.

Smitty played improv trumpet on "Blues in the Key of Funk" at Drywall's June 16, 1995 show at the Emerson. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1999.
